It's so good. Line moves faster than you'd think. Highly recommend as this is a must have, and a stale on Purdue's campus for late night booze food.

It was very reasonably priced, quick service and was very tasty. I had a Fabulous Franks Fat Guido and it was great.

It tasted like cardboard. The employees were rude, and my bill was kind of expensive for just a hot dog, fries, and a drink.

No place better for a late night snack! If you are hesitant, understandably, just try it! You will not be disappointed.

We had problem finding the place, any idea where is it and if it opens in June?

Right across the street from Harry's Chocolate shop on Pierce St. Limited hours in the summer due to Purdue being out, keep in touch with Facebook page for hours

Fast food done perfect! Quick accurate service with a smile…read more Fantastic cheese coney dogs. YUMMY!

2 stars. TL;DR -…read moreroot beer in frosted glass is divine; onion rings were delicious; service is lacking. We were intrigued by the root beer and loved the idea of enjoying it in a frosted mug, so we popped over for dinner. We ordered a myriad of things, all of which were eventually served in one giant paper tray with zero markings to identify what was what. And our root beers? Served in paper cups. When we asked about the frosted mugs, we were told they were about to close and had suspended tray service. However, the car that pulled in AFTER us received frosted mugs... and so did the folks seated at the picnic tables. So... huh? We flagged down a different carhop and asked why those patrons were still being served mugs. Again, we were told it was because they were about to close. But the sign clearly stated they closed at 10 PM, and both parties arrived after us and received mugs after we'd already been told service was suspended. Was this a case of dining while Black? In this current political climate, I honestly never know. I certainly pray that wasn't the case. The carhop apologized and didn't offer any additional excuses. She simply said she'd speak with the manager. Shortly thereafter, two frosted mugs appeared, filled with some of the creamiest root beer I've had in quite some time. I prayed over mine again because, listen... I worked in restaurants. I've seen crazy things. For the record, the hours posted on the menu board are incorrect. They actually close at 9 PM on Saturdays, not 10. And right at 9, the lights shut off completely. So if you plan to keep eating, you'll need to turn on your dome light like it's a tailgate party. The onion rings and root beer were genuinely enjoyable. The hot dogs, burgers, fries, and fried mushrooms were mid. Just... meh. Nothing to write home about. But what truly irritated me was the corn dog. Everybody knows the best part of a corn dog is that crispy little batter nugget near the stick. WHY would they scrape it off?!?!?! Who does that? Why would you intentionally remove the batter from the stick? I was absolutely appalled. Pffft! I'd return for the root beer or maybe a root beer float, but I'd strongly advise arriving before 8:30 PM if you actually want the full frosted mug experience.

My friends and I stopped by on a road trip. Despite how popular it is, the four of us were seated…read moreinside within 10-15 minutes. Of course, we opened up with root beer and root beer floats. I had a float and then a regular root beer later and while I DO love a good float (and this was good), Triple XXX's root beer is so good it deserves to be drunk itself. I got the famous Purvis, the burger with the peanut butter. It was...interesting. I took a bite and thought "yup; that's peanut butter". It weirdly worked? And let me tell you, these prices are GREAT. If you pay cash, you can avoid the ~$3 credit card charge but even with that, prices are AMAZING. Wonderful spot, I'll pass by every time I have an excuse.

TLDR: I'd return but I'd order differently…read more Service was very friendly and the excellent root beer flowed freely. Atmosphere is old time lunch counter with far too many pictures and posters from DDD. The food wasn't bad. The pork tenderloin sandwich was good as were the fries. I've got reservations about the Dean Purvis burger, though. It's a signature burger but as much as I believe that peanut butter is a blessing from above, it adds absolutely nothing to a cheeseburger. The counterman enthusiastically recommended adding bacon to the burger. I went for it but again, it really added nothing beyond an upcharge. The beef itself though wasn't bad at all. The onion rings were also not worth the addition. They're very much low end standard food distributor issue and distinctly 'meh.' I watched a frostie being made. It's something like an inverse root beer float, a lot of ice cream with a small amount of root beer. The number of scoops of ice cream that went into that blender was positively insane. So yeah, I'd go back but I'd order a tenderloin, a more basic burger, or something from the breakfast menu.
